Enhanced Red Lightning '79 Campaign

Enhanced Red Lightning '79 Campaign

This expands the 1979 Red Lightning campaign to include:

1.) SPECAT Jaguar for the RAF; you'll need the addon.

2.) F-111A Aardvark for the USAAF You'll need the F-111A Pack. Sadly, the default german map doesn't extend to england, which is where the F-111A was based, so it's not totally realistic.

2.) Adds the VVS, with MiG-23M, MiG-27, MiG-21MF, and Su-7BM

3.) Adds the East German AF, two units, MiG-21MF and Su-7BM

4.) Adds the Polish AF, two units, MiG-21MF and Su-7BM

5.) Adds a description of what plane each squadron flies, no more guessing!

I thought about adding carrier operations, but the map was too limited for a carrier, and secondly, the USN in WW3 would be involved with keeping the sea lanes open, and battling the soviets in Norway, to worry about the central front.

Nitpicking really, but wasn't the USAF flying the F-111E & F models at this time (also included in the F-111 pack, and USAFE skins available)?

**MKSheppard** · August 25, 2006

Heh, you're right..... the F-111E and F-111F Models were available to the USAF in Europe at the time...Oh well, version 1.01 :crazy:

Oh yes, to use the campaign fully as the Commies, you'll obviously need to make the MiGs and Su-7BM flyable.

I'm not very knowledgeable on European air forces, what was the Luftwaffle and everyone else flying in '79?

I saw a bunch of Luftwaffe F-104's when I was TDY to Leipheim and Sembach in Germany.

Looked sort of like this;

And I concur on the F-111F's in `79 out of RAF Lakenheath. Upper Heyford had F's and E's...

Excited to play this one, but I do not seem to have the original Red Lightning campaign. I cannot find it here. Does anyone have a link so I can get the entire thing?
